Series Talk: Round 2: Leafs vs. Panthers

[al secord]

I told my son before the playoffs started that I was not sure who would win the cup this year...but I was sure who wouldn't...and that is Boston. They spent all of their energy chasing records and are now out of gas. They played like it was the playoffs for almost the whole season and faced competition that treated the games as just regular games. Now Florida is upping their game and Boston has no room to go up.

You forgot to equate for game management

Boston getting fake calls

3rd penalty on Montour

 

[Alamo Leafer]

If the panthers hold on

Then leafs win in 5 in r2

Flordia is on a high. They are a medicore team.

We will win that series big

I wouldn't be too confident. We all saw what a mediocre team did 2 years ago.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Anyone want to get a little preview of the ref show we are in for in R2 if the Bruins get through the Bruins are diving at any semblance of contact and the refs are biting on every single one.

That was a huge fluke tbh

Leafs also have a different setup

We overcame the choking hurdles and mental block

The panthers lack all depth and we can easily overpower them

We just need to make sure we treat them like a poor team and dont come out weak. Were the top dogs abd should skate like that

 

[Rob Brown]

If the panthers hold on

Then leafs win in 5 in r2

Flordia is on a high. They are a medicore team.

We will win that series big

We'd be the favourites and I think we'd win but I don't think it'd be easy.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I mean I love the idea of hitting Pasta in the mouth, but dont get caught doing it. That is a penalty, of course, but what the hell is Montour supposed to do there? Cease to exist?

He faked it.

Bad call.

Flordia is on a high. They are a medicore team.

We will win that series big

If they get goaltending they can win against anybody because they will score

Then games turn into track meets which isn't something that suits us more than them

 

[hamzarocks]

We'd be the favourites and I think we'd win but I don't think it'd be easy.

Will see if the panthers are actually good or just on a high in R1

I just dont see a position they are even 80% as good as us

Center we destroy
Defense we are comfortably ahead
Wingers we are ahead though this is closest
Depth we are fairly ahea
Goaltending we are ahead
Coaching we are ahead as maurice sucks

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Marchand looks scared concerned, ok, not so cocky

 

[BertCorbeau]

He faked it.

Bad call.

But when Knies does it he's vilified on the mains

Yup.

If people thought Tamp got calls, they’ll be jumping off the Bloor Viaduct when they see the gifts Boston gets.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

good, take it to 5 OTs lol

 

[Holls Blackmail]

good, take it to 5 OTs lol

100%

 

[Koolboss]

Boston in 6

 

[BayStBullies]

I really don't want to face Boston. I'm tired of facing teams who get free powerplays whenever they want one. It's absolute momentum killers.

 

[Primary Assist]

That's the first time I've noticed Tkachuk all night

 

[BertCorbeau]

This is a typical playoff game again Boston

Can't wait to have to battle poor reffing again.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Boston at 5v5 really isn't that impressive. They have a hell of a powerplay though and get "creative" to make sure they get on the powerplay.

 

[BayStBullies]

Dear Friedman, why does the even up calls rule only apply to some teams?

 

[thewave]

Bet99man: Zebras, Boston most go through at all costs!!

Exactly

3 PP's in a Row, So nice. lol

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Does Holl play again this playoffs? Over/under?

I bet my house he plays again

 

[shaner8989]

We can beat Boston

 

[Marshy]

We can beat Boston

We can and we will.

A wave of deja vu is coming over me...

It's always tough to win in there, especially if they are diving and flopping like that like.
